CALENDAR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 330,028, datedbl'ovember 10, 1885. Application filed November 13, 1884. Serial No.147,825. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN R. JOLLY, re siding at Raleigh, in thecounty of Wake and State of North Carolina, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Calendars, of which the following is aspecification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to calendars for watchcases, 8w. and it consistsin the construction and combination hereinafter pointed out and claimed.

The object of my invention is to produce a calendar of paper or thinsheet metal which may be inclosed in the case of a watch, and by settingthe calendar monthly the user will have a perpetual calendar.

It will be understood that the calendar may be used in a match-box,tobacco-box, cigarcase, 820., but is specially intended for watches, andis made very thin, so it may go between the case and crystal of theusual huntingcase watches, and will be retained in the case so that thecalendar can be seen whenever the watch is consulted.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a face viewof calendar complete. Fig. 2 isa face View of one of the sheets of which the calendar is composed,showing the slits in the sheet. Fig. 3 is a face View of the othersheet. Fig. 4 is an edge View of the calendar, showing sheetsinterlocked. Fig. 5 is a face view of a modified construction. Fig. 6 isa view of the notched piece with external piece or ring cut away. Fig. 7is an edge view of this calendar. Fig. 8 represents the calendar appliedto a watch-case.

A represents the face-plate of the calendar, which is of paper or ametal foil, and is cut through on the lines a a a*, so that the piece1;, embraced between the lines a a and inside the boundary-cut line a,may be turned either to front or rear. The central portion of plate A,bounded by a circle which just touches the inner ends of the lines a aconstitutes a disk from which the pieces I) and c extend.

B is a ring of material similar to A, and having a central perforationof such size that the inner ends of the cuts a a will come just in linewith the inner edge of ring B when the two plates are placed together.The turnedup pieces I) are passed through the ring B and flattened downagainst its face. The plate A and ring B are thus held together by thepieces I), which extend over one portion of the ring, and by the mainpart of plate A on the other side of the ring, as in Fig. 4; but thering B will be free to rotate about the central part of plate A.

The names of the days of the week will be printed on the pieces I) ofplate A, and corresponding data showing the day of the month on the ringB; or this arrangement may be reversed.

In some cases the portion of the plate A exterior to the edges of thepieces 6 may be omitted, and the edge of the ring B secured betweenthese pieces I) and the intervening portions 0. (See Figs. 6 and 7.)

An advertisement or businesscard may be put in the central space of thecalendar, inside the calendar proper, and also outside thecalendar-figures or between the same.

I contemplate the addition of a separate sheet which gives the day ofthe month.

The calendar is set by turning the ring until the word or letterindicating the day of the week comes opposite the column of figureswhich indicates the day of the month. Thus Monday will be opposite thefigures 1 8 15 22 29, or 2 9 16 23 30, or other column, as the case maybe, and the names of the other days will each be opposite itsappropriate column, as the figures representing the days of the monthsare arranged in seven groups, either radially or circumferentially.

These calendars can be made very cheaply, and when they contain thebusiness-card of a jeweler form an excellent advertising medium.

I claim-- 1. The calendar described, consisting of the ring B, of thinmaterial, and the thin plate A, having pieces b and 0 (formed by cuts onlines a a a") surrounding a central disk, the pieces I) being passedthrough the ring and flattened against the same, the ring and platebearing the letters and figures necessary to constitute a calendar, asset forth.

2. The combination, with ring B, bearing In testimony whereof I aifix mysignature in seven groups of figures to indicate days of the presence oftwo Witnesses. month, of the plate A, having pieces I) and 0 (formed bycuts on lines a a a) around a central disk portion, the pieces 1)bearing the names of the days of the Week and passed through the ringand flattened against the front of the same, substantially as described.
